Best Practices says to not give away too many permissions. There isn't a need for 777, so why grant it? > > How do you do this? I'm using Webmin, but I assume you're doing this in > the CLI? Other user might be adding files as well. Will this make files > they add have me as owner? Yeah, I don't use webmin.... The settings in /etc/samba/smb.conf that matter are these: [homes] create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 (To be inconsistent with normal unix stuff, they flip the ones and zeros... sort of like Cisco and their backwards netmasks...) > > Do you have any advice to help me rip directly to the server?

Samba is great for making Windows and Linux talk to each other but NFS is better for unix-unix. You would have to use SMBmount on the laptop to access the server, there is probably a gui for that, never used it. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39565 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
